docker build error: Cannot find module 'semver'

See original GitHub issue

When attempting to build with the latest hospitalrun-frontend from github, I encounter the following error.

(Docker version 17.03.1-ce, build c6d412e on Ubuntu 14.04)

$ docker build -t hospitalrun-frontend .

module.js:471
    throw err;

OK, I fixed this error by getting rid of the npm update line (as described in this post: https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/15558)

I think the npm update causes a mismatch between the npm version and the cached modules, but I’m not really sure if that’s the cause. So I’d consider this more of a workaround than a fix!

changes to Dockerfile:

- RUN npm install -g npm && npm install -g ember-cli@latest && npm install -g bower
+ #RUN npm install -g npm@latest
+ RUN npm install -g ember-cli@latest
+ RUN npm install -g bower
